October Book Club: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

October’s book is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. The movie based on the book came out in late 2013, but I haven’t seen it yet. I’m excited this one is out on DVD, so I can watch it at home after I finish the book (going to the movies with an infant is not really an option!). Here’s the excerpt for the book:

It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.

Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.
